Hi Marion,

From Genuki:

The book "A Guide to Glasgow Addresses 1837-1945", which gives details of street name changes in the city, is available from the Glasgow & West of Scotland Family History Society.

There is a site which states the change occured before 1937-8 and were listed in the Postal Directory for that date:

Hello Marion,

This 1927 Glasgow Directory has a Holms Street, Govan, (1927streetlist43.jpg) but no sign of a Wanlock Street (1927streetlist59.jpg). Presumably change was after 1927.

This is my favourite site for Glasgow street name changes. http://www.glasgowguide.co.uk/info-streetschanged2.html

The street names changed around the early 1930s.

I used to play at the swing park there?

Annette

Hi Annette
I was contacted by someone on the sunnygovan website and they are sure it changed in 1932. Annette do you come from govan? if so where as you would have gathered I was born at 50 Wanlock Street and I was never out of the swing park I was born in 1954 and we left Govan in th early seventies and moved to Cardonald I am now in Gourock

Hi Marion,

I lived at Burleigh Street opposite The Black Man. My mum and dad met while they both had part time jobs at The Lyceum and we moved in 1963 when I was 11. I went to Harmony Row then Hill's Trust.

Govan has changed a lot since we grew up there.

Regards,
Annette
